Poopy diapers. They're not so bad. Then your baby gets diarrhea, and it's everywhere. Or you're changing your baby, and she has one of those rocket poops that sprays the wall across the room and soaks your disgusted mother-in-law who knows you suck as a person and are just barely winging it as a parent. That changing pad cover we all got at the shower is now permanently stained with whatever poor food decision made your precious one sick in the first place. That stain's not coming out. Time to kill it with fire.

This thing spares you from all that. Not the rocket-poo - there's no stopping that. This thing stops you having to throw away totaled linens all the time. It's so easy. You just wipe it off. I'm laughing hysterically right now. I've been such a fool. Why didn't someone tell me sooner about this thing. I'm five kids in. My mother-in-law might think I know something. She might have respected me sooner. It's also heavy (not too heavy), so it doesn't slide around when my boys are trying to escape the diaper change. I love it so much!

One thing - don't set it directly on a finished wood surface as it will discolor it. Our changing table is fabric underneath so it works great. One idea would be to lay a couple pieces of tile under it, or a scrap of granite from a kitchen design store. Get creative and make it look how you want.

And in fact my mother-in-law is great. She helps me all the time. I love her so much, and I'm fairly certain she loves me more than she loves her own child. She's the best.

I've been using my new Keekaroo Peanut Changer with my newborn for about 2 weeks, and it already has a stain on it. I've tried diaper wipes, gentle dish detergent, plain water, and a cleaning spray, but cannot get the stain out. I've contacted customer service who told me "that the stain is only a surface stain."

Fortunately the customer service for Keekaroo is great and they are sending me a replacement product.

I went a few months with baby before deciding to order this. What was the kicker? Baby started rolling, and rolling, and rolling. Especially during diaper changes. The Keekaroo helps keep her contained so I don't have to worry about her rolling off the changing table. It is bigger than I imagined, but I know she will growth with it. It is a breeze to clean too - just wipes clean. Baby does seem to not like how it is cold on her back during diaper changes, so I lay a little cloth under her back as a little barrier.

Nice heavy mat that is waterproof and easy to wipe clean. It's nice if you want to use water to squirt off baby's bottom rather than wipe it. It has been very useful for us although it can be a little cold on baby at first. Also, I really like it, but I am still not sure it's worth the $125-ish. It was a gift to me so I am glad to have it but probably wouldn't have paid that much to buy it for myself.

This diaper changer is the best there is. We have owned one for 2,5 years and we use it daily. It still looks like new and I know we will keep using it for a long time. I recently got another one to gift to my pregnant sister. I'm sure she will love it as well as we do and use it for many years to come. It's definitely worth the money, every parent should need one for their kids. I really like that the mat itself is sturdy and won't move on the changing table, and that you don't need any covers for it. You can easily wipe it clean when it gets dirty. In my opinion this is the best product to own for new parents.
